Decide between wired connection or remote transfer when importing photos from iPhone to Mac.
The most obvious option is to connect your iPhone to your Mac via cable. While it may be a bit more cumbersome for a single photo, it is the most effective method for making complete backups of your gallery.
Follow these steps:
- Connect the iPhone charging cable to one of the USB ports on your Mac.
- Opens the Photos application, identified by a multicolored flower icon. It may open automatically when the iPhone is connected.
- The iPhone will appear in the left column of the window, in the «Devices» section. Before displaying the content, the iPhone will ask for confirmation. Select «Trust» to allow access to your photos.
- Now you can choose to import specific photos or all of them. In the first case, select «Import selected» in the upper right corner of the window. If you prefer to import all new photos from your iPhone, click the blue «Import all new photos» button.

Another option is to import photos from iPhone to Mac using iCloud Photo Library. This method is effective if you have enough iCloud storage space. Here's how to do it:
- Make sure you have enough storage space in iCloud.
- Activate iCloud Photo Library in your iPhone settings by going to «Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Photos».
- Repeat the process on your Mac. Go to «System Preferences > Apple ID» and enable «Photos» to enable photo sync.
Opting for remote transfer via iCloud can be especially convenient if you have ample cloud storage space. Remember that the 5 GB of free storage offered by iCloud may not be enough for all your photos.
We hope you found these tips helpful in transferring your iPhone photos to your Mac easily and efficiently!
